I missed a pair of brand new pfr's in Aus for 100bux. Kinda sad. 
 
The kde250 is my most oft used headphones ATm. What do u think of them James? I got over the fit issues. And understand that they isolate like crap but these are very good sounding my god. I don't even use the vsonic gr07s anymore

Hey, thanks for reminding me of the PFR-V1!  I've had an eye on these for quite some time, but never saw them at a good price in the EU. Your post made me search again and I managed to snatch a refurbished pair from Amazon UK for £99, so I really owe you :) Looking forward to how they stack up against my KDE250....
 


Awesome!
 
Yeah, I love unique headphone / earspeaker technology and designs. When I saw the PFR-V1 last year I knew I had to have them, but like you I sort of forgot about them for a while. Some people think they're like mini-K1000s, at least in terms of the music presentation.
 
Given Kiteki's love of the K1000 and for Sony devices, I'm surprised he hasn't mentioned them.

Finally got to try the much talked about Shure SRH940. I must say, despite the budget feel to its build and downright dumb swivel mechanism, it sounds pretty damn impressive given its price. Surprisingly so. Really drives home the point of diminishing returns in this hobby.

I thought the SRH 840 was interesting. The flaws are there but inasmuch as it's objectionable, it's that they're a little dead. I happily used them for half a year as in-office headphones, where they were comfortable, sounded fine, and did a decent job of walling off outside noise. The HD25-1 II was much better on most counts, but it's more expensive and, for me at least, they're too uncomfortable to wear for hours at a stretch.
 
The world needs more high-quality closed cans.

Never tried the SRH 840. As a whole, I'm not really interested in the Shure brand. Their products always struck me as a bit bland, coupled with the fact that I owned some of their IEMs back in college and had them fail on me.
 
The SRH940 is the first of their products I've used since, and I was pleasantly surprised by the sound quality. Their construction is a bit unfortunate, though. Overall it has me a rather intrigued about their upcoming flagship.
